Parallel books app
Doesn’t give clear instructions on how to use the app.
An amazing app
Very useable, even, surprisingly, on a relatively small phone screen. Genius features, hope it keeps developing! Would be worth paying for.
No books in Dutch
Great idea for an app. The App Store description states there are books in Dutch, and so I was excited to download but there is nothing in Dutch available.
A very impressive application
A love the idea of reading a book in two languages and never thought that there would be any possibility to do it for free and here is Parallel books...
Mark twain
Cant get one side english -both are german
Please
the new update of apple does not allow to open the books ...
Nice concept
I really like the concept of this app. Even though it doesn't have a big selection, it's very useful. I hope that they take this further. Something I appreciate is that it doesn't have any ads, and you can download the books for free. If they decide to charge something in order to obtain a bigger selection, I feel that would be a good idea. However, I hope they always keep this app ad free; and if ever it becomes popular, that they don't get greedy and start asking a lot money in order to get rid of the ads.
Awesome
The app is seriously awesome i've been looking for something that could improve my german and spanish hope you add some more books and there is a bug where the screen goes blank i don't know if it is only in my iphone if not i hope it gets fixed soon
